167. not superfluous
"Lawyer Iwahashi is my sister. In response to the female staff's question, Iwahashi replied.
"Heyβ"
The female clerk looked at him a little as if she was a little surprised.
This reaction fell into Iwahashi Shinichi's eyes, and he asked, "Why, doesn't it look like it?"
"A little. The female clerk smiled slightly, her eyes moved upward, as if she was thinking for a moment, and added, "However, if you look closely, it is also a little similar." β
That being said, it sounds a bit like a common ground found by searching the stomach.
Shinichi Iwahashi didn't care, even when he thought back to that sister, he felt that the two of them didn't look alike.
It's really hard for this young lady.
The phone rang again, and the female clerk took Iwahashi aside to deal with the person on the other end of the phone.
It was a very emotional phone call, and even if you couldn't hear the content of the phone call clearly, you could tell just by looking at the female staff trying to reassure the other party. Then again, the people who will turn to the lawyer themselves belong to the kind of people who are in trouble, and it is not surprising that they will react.
The female clerk finished the phone call and was about to talk to Shinichi Iwahashi - she was a little curious about the younger brother that Asako Iwahashi suddenly appeared.
At this time, a woman wearing professional clothes and straight hair at shoulder length walked by.
When the female clerk saw it, she took back what she was about to say, and changed her tone to greet her: "Lawyer Iwahashi." β
"Shinichi?" Iwahashi stood still in front of Shinichi Iwahashi.
In terms of age, Asako Iwahashi, who is ten years older than Shin Iwahashi, is over thirty years old this year, but she looks younger than her actual age. Medium height, thin but not shriveled, goose egg face, a pair of transparent-framed glasses on the bridge of the nose, delicate facial features, but a little light. I don't know if it's a preconceived idea of the profession.,It looks like a strong aura.γ That said, it doesn't come across as aggressive.
"Sister. Iwahashi said.
The two sat facing each other.
"The contract I just talked about on the phone ......"
Shin Iwahashi kept going to the point, explained the ins and outs, and after finishing speaking, put the bag containing the draft contract on the table and gently pushed it over.
Iwahashi Asako stretched out his hand, took the file bag, and instead of opening it, he asked him first, "You opened a music production company?" β
It's a question, but the tone is affirmative. Shinichi Iwahashi didn't tell Asako Iwahashi about opening a production company, but he mentioned it to Shizuoka's parents, and he knew about it 100% from his family.
"Yes. That's why there are contractual issues to solve. Iwahashi said.
Asako Iwahashi didn't answer him, but instead asked about his production company. Questions such as the amount of the registration fee, how the equity is distributed, what are the company's goals and business policies, and what kind of plans are made in the next one to two years.
For his sister's questions, Shinichi Iwahashi answered them truthfully. Hearing him say that the current working capital was obtained in exchange for a land purchase loan, Iwahashi Asako frowned slightly.
Previously, Shizuoka's mother had called Asako Iwahashi and said that Shinichi now had a music production company.
At that time, Asako Iwahashi had just received a moving postcard from Shinichi.
When my mother talked about Shinichi's opening of a production company, she was very surprised, but it was Asako Iwahashi, who was not surprised at all. My mother always felt that this change was due to her personality, but in fact, it was an understanding of Shinichi's observation since Asako Iwahashi was still in Shizuoka.
Mother always felt that Shinyi's personality was too honest and introverted, but Iwahashi Asako instead thought that there was something restless in Shinichi's personality.
As for the evidence, he has always been uncertain about his future, and after graduating from high school and deciding to go to Beijing, he did not choose to join the company. Because of this, Iwahashi Asako was not surprised that Shinichi would do something that had nothing to do with his previous life.
Whether it was after two years of wandering, he went to work in a brokerage firm, or he resigned to start a production company.
Therefore, for such a Shinichi, Iwahashi Asako has never cared about his life - even he himself has not yet found a way to go, and it is superfluous to say anything to him at this time. Asako Iwahashi, who doesn't do superfluous things, sometimes thinks that one thing is superfluous for herself, but that it is superfluous for others.
But if you really want to talk about it, Iwahashi Asako feels that compared to "Iwahashi Shinichi", maybe she set her life goals early and worked hard for them, but her personality is honest.
After hanging up her mother's phone, Asako Iwahashi thought about it, wrote a postcard reply, and sent it back to the address on it.
At the time, it was not a surprise to hear that Shinichi had opened a music production company, but now, hearing what he had done to buy a land loan to maintain the company's operations, Asako Iwahashi was really shocked.
I knew that there was an element of instability in his personality, but I didn't expect that this instability was symbiotic with another kind of desperate bet that was determined not to look back.
Shinichi is far more complex than she has always observed.
Iwahashi Asako relied on his previous observations of Shinichi to analyze what he is doing now, but he doesn't know that this Shinichi and that Shinichi are no longer the same Shinichi a long time ago.
But it is also this confidence in her own observations that makes Iwahashi Asako think that even if she feels the subtle changes in Shinyi's mental outlook and behavior, she thinks that this belongs to "everything is possible" and belongs to the "instability" of Shinichi.
Shinichi Iwahashi answered the questions in a clear manner, clearly thoughtfully, and with a clear goal. Asako Iwahashi doesn't think it's a whim or a self-inflicted whim.
But even so.
"Now you're pretty much relying on your previous broker connections to maintain the company. Asako Iwahashi said.
Iwahashi nodded cautiously, "That's pretty much it. β
"And then, just wait for the show you said to start airing, and then fight for the opportunity to produce a single for the band that is out of the game in one game?"
"It was a good opportunity. β
Asako Iwahashi looked at him, "As a springboard, it's not bad. If you go down as you intended. β
The show has its own topicality, and the rules of the game that can be turned over by selling 10,000 tickets are even more natural. As long as you make a decent single, you can get the card of promotion.
The premise is that it comes as expected.
"So, you rely on your agent connections to do the current work first, and then wait for the opportunity to fall to you?"
Iwahashi Shin's heart moved, and he met Iwahashi Asako's gaze, "Of course it won't work, that's why I have to recruit composers, expand the company's music library, and get ready." β
Asako Iwahashi's words are on point, the show from production to production, to broadcasting, there are still unknown prospects, if you only take on this kind of work that is not even part assembly, it is no different from hanging from a tree. He also knows in his heart that if you want to make music big, you must be original.
Recruit songwriters and arrangers who have the ability to produce complete songs, so that they can compete for that kind of outsourced work.
There are countless newcomers signed by the record company every year, and there are dozens of groups that can debut.
If you can provide lyrics and arrangements, and if you can plan the route, you can do some work for new people or half-new. Only by being original and communicating with record companies can we take a wider road.
Hearing what Iwahashi Shinichi said, Iwahashi Asako groaned for a moment and picked up the document bag, "I'll take a look at this contract." β
It seems that he promised to help him.
Iwahashi Shinichi breathed a sigh of relief - even if Iwahashi Asako didn't help, he wouldn't be unable to go on because of this, so it wasn't that he was relieved because he had solved one thing.
But in this meeting and communication, I learned a little more about Iwahashi Asako.
In the impression of "Shinichi Iwahashi", Asako Iwahashi is a person who never does superfluous things, and the two sisters and brothers are very different in all aspects. However, it is not surprising that Iwahashi Asako, who has come to him for this matter, has come to help - the two have not severed their relationship.
To Iwahashi's surprise, Iwahashi Asako would remind him not to hang himself from a tree.
In terms of this sister's behavior, it is just enough to help him read the contract, and it is necessary to remind him of this matter, which is the so-called redundant.
However, Asako Iwahashi specially reminded him.
If she really doesn't do superfluous things, it means that in her opinion, it's not superfluous.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought back to the postcard that Iwahashi Asako had sent back earlier, and seemed to understand her style a little more.
For Asako Iwahashi, if what he does seems meaningful to her, then she doesn't skimp on her words. If it seems to her to be meaningless, then the shot is called "superfluous".
If you want to win the favor of this sister and build a good relationship with her, the secret may be to keep going up.
Of course, Shinichi Iwahashi doesn't see this as a snobbery either.
At this time, the female clerk just now came to call her, and it seemed that something was wrong. Looking at the time, it has exceeded the time that Iwahashi Asako said before coming.
However, Iwahashi Asako answered, but did not get up, but first went through the contents of the contract, and asked Iwahashi Shinichi about a few questions, pointing out the points that need to be paid attention to.
After communicating like this, she left the contract and agreed to contact him after the formal contract was prepared.
As soon as the business was done, Iwahashi Shinichi immediately offered to leave, and he didn't drag her to talk more at all, which was exactly what she wanted.
Two days later, Shinichi Iwahashi receives a call from Asako Iwahashi and goes to her office again to get a brand new contract.
When I visited again, it was the female staff I saw last time I opened the door, and when I first came to the door, it was "suspected that Iwahashi is a relative", and when I visited again, it was "Iwahashi Lawyer's brother", and the attitude of the female staff became enthusiastic.
To be honest, it's a bit strange that in a place like a law firm, the staff are enthusiastic.
So, it's not so much because he knows that he is the younger brother of Asako Iwahashi that he is enthusiastic about him, but because he knows that he is not here for big things, so he can show enthusiasm despite it.
......
The contract was ready, both parties were satisfied, and Seiichiro Kuribayashi officially became the composer of GENZO.
After accepting him into the company, Shinichi Iwahashi first auditioned the stock songs he had saved since he left home to study music, and bought 14 songs in one go.
If you include it all, it's the weight of an album.
Of course, that doesn't work, the album has to be holistic, and it's a selection of songs, not just a whole group of songs.
Miwa Yoshida's songs are not suitable for others to sing, but Masato Nakamura can write songs for popular taste, plus ARNORMAL's stock songs, GENZO's current "music library" has about 30 songs, which is a pitiful number.
As Asako Iwahashi said, since the establishment of GENZO, the company can be said to have relied entirely on the connections that Iwahashi Shinichi had saved as an agent to operate, and it was a long-term solution, which of course could not be done.
However, in the short term, it is these connections that can ensure the operation of the company.
In the long run, of course, the road should be wider and wider. No matter how thin the mosquito legs are, it is also meat, and with Quku, then you have the confidence to contact orders.
A friend's friend may also become his own friend, and Shinichi Iwahashi, who relies on his connections to ensure the operation of the company, also wants to rely on his connections to build new connections.
The next Friday, Shinichi Iwahashi stayed in Kawasaki's office and made phone calls all day. In the afternoon, Haruko Akamatsu finished her class and went over to help.
Kawasaki's office is not large, but it is full of things.
The finished and semi-finished products made in the studio, as well as some handy materials recorded on TV, were all gathered here.
The two were busy until the evening, and they didn't finish work until almost seven o'clock.
While packing up, Shinichi Iwahashi invited her, "Let's go eat something later, it's not too early anyway." β
Haruko Akamatsu nodded, "Yes." β
After packing up their things and checking the circuit, the two went downstairs one after the other and went to a nearby shop to eat. After ordering, Shinichi Iwahashi said, "I haven't thanked you yet for helping to introduce Kuribayashi-san." β
"I said I would like to invite you to dinner in a better place to thank you. He said.
This is the truth, Haruko Akamatsu dozed off and sent a pillow to him, and sent Seiichiro Kuribayashi to him.
Hearing him say this, Haruko Akamatsu replied: "When you are hungry, everything you eat is delicious, and the small shop is also a good place." β
"That's right. Shinkazu Iwahashi smiled, "If I invite you back to Tokyo to eat now, maybe you'll be angry." β
"That's right. Haruko Akamatsu smiled.
After eating, the two walked to the station together.
At this time, although the carriage is not crowded and scary, there are no seats.
The journey from Kawasaki to Toshin was not short, and when I finally arrived at the station, Haruko Akamatsu suddenly said to Iwahashi Shinichi, "Can you find a place to sit again?" β
